Wilson's Snipe, Gallinago delicata

The Wilson's Snipe is both "one of the most abundant and
widespread shorebirds in North America" and remarkably "elusive" (Birds
of North America Online), by virtue of its talent for sitting still in
its high grass or marsh habitat and relying on its camouflage to hide
itself. The usual view of these birds is when they are flushed, flying
rapidly up and away with a loud harsh cry and a burst of rapid wing
movement. So despite their widespread abundance, I don't have a lot of
photographs of them.
